Through playing with the mclk and pll arguments (mclk:68,pll:200) I can reduce the amount of "pixel dancing", but when there is a lot of movement on the screen it is still quite noticable. I got these values from sheer experimenting, and could be slowing cooking my chip for all I know.
I'm experiencing the same problem on my PowerCenter 132 with my ATI VR-Pro. I have a feeling that there is a bug in the Rage-Pro support. I've also had trouble with the acceleration causing garbage on the screen in 16 bit mode when I drag windows. It's entirely possible that we don't have the memory layout quite correct or something. To add insult to injury I also have an Adaptec Ultra SCSI PCI card and a 4 Gig drive that Linux is booting off of. I've had some random files show up like "?:" including the quote characters. Maybe there are deeper PCI problems or is this just a bug in the Adaptec driver? (With a the R5 2.2.6 kernel and a 2.3.6 custom compile). I've been meaning to look into the code but I haven't had the time. Anybody have some clues? My card *used* to work under 2.1.24 when I added the support to the original driver ;-) _______________________________________________________________________ Michael Zucca - mrz5149@acm.org - http://www.mdc.net/~mrz5149/ "I will choose a path that's clear.
